around the country Upstairs Downstairs brought Collins certain measure of fame But she had been a working stage ac tress for years before the series ap pearing in everything from musicals to the classics A native of Shirley Valentines Collins is a descendant of Irish poets When you did Shirley Valen tine as a play it was a onewoman show The film version has other roles Did you mind sharing the screen A I was delighted to make a multi cast movie All those extra characters make a more realistic piece of enter tainment Besides it couldnt have onewoman film because le audiences dont accept that sort of thing Theatergoers are a little more willing to do the extra work of sus pending disbelief which a onewoman show requires Yod bad a fairly explicit node scene a cramped boat with Tom in Shirley Valentine Was that hard to for logistic reasons If or no other A No I had done a bit of nudity be fore And Tom Contl is- my neighbor Our daughtersgo to the same school So it was really easy to

a scene from Shirley Valentine on the Tony Awards ceremony your Liverpool ac cent seemed much thicker than in the film A Sometimes when Im nervous the accent gets thicker I decided to use less of an accent in the film be cause Americans might find a Liver pool accent hard to understand Heck some Londoners find a Liverpool cent hard to understand Q Why is British TV so superior to American TV We dont have any thing as good as Claudius or Bri Revisited o name just two British imports A American TV is not inferior to the British We just send you our best stuff You dont see our game shows And

your soap operas and Hill Street Blues Rich Man Poor Man is considered a classic in England Many of my British Mends who now live In America say that one of the reasons they left Britain was the class
